He and Adam Corolla were great in The Man Show.

Alas, when he tried to discuss politics, he bombed.

24 years of drivel is a lot of drivel.

I will feel a great sense of accomplishment when his show ends, and I have never watched a single episode.

That’s about 22 years beyond what he ever merited.

Adam Carolla was the talent then, and still has an excellent podcast. The language is a little rough for some, but I find the content worth it.
